marmar158, sins AND the expansions store the mods AND settings in the user data space for windows NOT in the program installation space, and the typical path(s) to the data space assuming your windows IS installed on 'C:' IS for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.191
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011
or here for vista/windows 7

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop
NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator
note 3 the above path names assume your windows installation LANGUAGE is ENGLISH(any varient) and other languages WILL have differences in the HIDDEN folder NAMES to suite the installed language
if you want to double check if the folders HAVE been correctly created BY starting sins/entrenchment/diplomacy, the simplest way is to use any of my modding utilities as they DO look for the current mod folder locations or atleast the dataspace ironclad games folder.
and I had to figure out this as I was writing the utilities so that they would be able to find the mods/galaxy folders so that they could do their job for ALL sinners
